How We're Different
Our providers are licensed and dually trained in both clinical and sport psychology. We can handle just about any mental health or performance issue that an athlete brings through the door.
We have worked with athletes at every level: Olympians, professionals, D1 collegiate athletes, club-level juniors, masters-level, and recreational athletes.
We are the practice that top doctors, athletes, coaches, administrators, agents, and parents refer their families and friends to.
We have worked as embedded sport psychologists for professional teams and Division 1 university athletic departments, both in the clubhouse and on the field.
Reduce Stress and Burnout
Sport psychology and mental performance consulting help athletes rediscover their “why” to connect again with the joy and passion that originally brought them success. We discover where the increased pressure is coming from and why sport has come to feel like a chore. Together, we develop individually tailored strategies to resolve these barriers and return to having fun, playing loose and free, and performing their best.
Mental Health Support
Athletes are just as likely to experience depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or any of the stressors and conflict of everyday life. Our sport psychologists are dually trained in both performance coaching and mental health counseling, and are uniquely able to connect with and understand the athlete’s experience whether the problem is on the field or at home.
Build Skills for Sport and Life
Performance enhancement extends far beyond sport itself. Sport psychology also increases self-awareness, confidence, focus, motivation, communication, leadership, and adversity management in our everyday lives. This generally leads to a healthier mindset, better relationships, greater satisfaction, and improved quality of life.
